Dannielynn's Life, So Far...

.Her half brother died days after she was born and her mother five months later. Now this tiny baby, who stands to inherit a fortune, is living with her mother's most recent boyfriend and the man named as father, in a mansion in Nassau Bahamas, that Smith said was given to her by U.S. developer and former boyfriend G. Ben Thompson.

Thompson, however, said he had only lent it to her — and on Friday his lawyer had the locks changed. But boyfirned Howard K. Stern changed the locks and moved in with baby Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.

Smith, in a lawsuit, had asked a court to recognize her as the owner and reject Thompson's claim on the house in the exclusive neighborhood.

The island chain's Supreme Court has scheduled a Feb. 26 hearing on the matter.

In addition to three men claiming to be the father of this child, The New York Daily News also reported Saturday that a manuscript it obtained by Smith's half-sister, Donna Hogan, says Smith froze the sperm of her late 90-year-old husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, before his death and may have used it to become pregnant.
